Figs. 6-9

Only one male (with damaged pronotum) and three females available; small black species; anterior tibiae and tarsi lightened, as well as basal antennal joints; maxillary palpi slightly elongated; temples strongly angulated; male antennae short, reaching posterior elytral third; female antennae surpassing elytral half; 2 nd antennal joint slightly elongated; 1 st, 3 rd and 4 th joints in male about equal in length, 5 th joint much longer; in females 1 st joint about as long as 3 rd, longer than 4 th and shorter than 5 th; prothorax transverse, in male about 1.3 times shorter than basal width, in females – about 1.4 times; pronotum with small dense irregular punctation, with short smooth central line, with short mixed erect and recumbent pubescence; scutellum oval, transverse or about as long as wide; elytra in male and in females about 2.1 times longer than basal width, in male slightly narrowed near middle; in females – nearly parallelsided; elytral punctation very dense, partly conjugated in transverse strokes; recumbent elytral pubescence very short, erect setae absent; posterior abdominal tergite and sternite in females rounded; pygidium in male a little emarginated, postpygidium and last sternite truncated; parameres elongated, regularly oval, aedeagus strongly widened apically pointed at apex; endophallus without spicula; body length in male: 7.0mm, width: 2.2.mm; body length in females: 7.0- 8.0mm, width: 2.3-2.5mm.

C. amanusensis sp. n. looks like very small C. alpina (Ménétriés, 1832) , and male genitals are also similar to C. alpina ; but the absence of endophallic spicula shows its species level.
